vault kv get -mount=secret -format=json kvpath |jq .data.data
vault kv delete -mount=secret kvpath
vault kv undelete -mount=secret -versions=2 kvpath
vault kv metadata delete -mount=secret kvpath

# secrets engines
vault secrets list
vault secrets enable -path=kv -description='here is description' kv
vault kv put -mount=kv mykvpath password="1q@w#E"
vault kv list -mount=kv
vault kv get -mount=kv [--field=foo] [-version=1] [-format=json] mykvpath
vault kv delete kv/mykvpath
vault secrets disable kv/

vault secrets enable -path=aws aws
...

# Authentication
vault token create
export VAULT_TOKEN="xxx.xxxx"
vault token login
vault token revoke $VAULT_TOKEN
# github organization
vault auth enable github
vault write auth/github/config organization=andyinp-org
vault write auth/github/map/teams/andyinp value=default,applications
vault auth list VAULT_TOKEN="xxx_xxx_xxx"

# Policies
vault policy list
vault policy read default
vault policy write my-policy - << EOF
# Dev servers have version 2 of KV secrets engine mounted by default, so will
# need these paths to grant permissions:
path "secret/data/*" {
  capabilities = ["create", "update"]
}

path "secret/data/foo" {
  capabilities = ["read"]
}
EOF
vault policy read my-policy
export VAULT_TOKEN="$(vault token create -field token -policy=my-policy)"
vault token lookup | grep policies
vault kv put -mount=secret creds password="my-long-password"
